/install x-install
Description
Software installation assistant using x-cmd's install module. Use this skill whenever the user needs to query software installation methods, get installation...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for providing installation commands via x-cmd, but pay attention before installing the helper itself. Prefer Homebrew (brew install x-cmd) or the manual-download-and-review flow. Never run curl https://get.x-cmd.com | sh in an environment that contains secrets or anything production-critical; always inspect the downloaded script first. Be aware that sourcing ~/.x-cmd.root/X will execute code from your home directory—only do this after you have verified the origin and contents. If you are unsure, decline auto-install and perform a manual install or review the scripts yourself.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: x-install
Version: 1.0.0
The x-install skill is a legitimate assistant for the x-cmd CLI tool, providing installation commands for various software packages. It includes a comprehensive security-focused installation guide (data/install.md) that explicitly ranks installation methods by risk, warns against 'curl | sh' in sensitive environments, and instructs the AI agent to obtain explicit user consent before proceeding with any installation. The skill demonstrates high transparency regarding its security properties and follows best practices for agent-led software management.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description promise to provide software installation commands via x-cmd and the SKILL.md exclusively uses x install commands and examples; requiring or referencing the x-cmd loader (~/.x-cmd.root/X) and an installation guide is coherent with that purpose.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to source ~/.x-cmd.root/X (which will execute code from the user's home directory) and to offer installation flows. The included data/install.md explicitly documents a curl -fsSL https://get.x-cmd.com | sh auto-install option and describes executing remote scripts; while the guide warns about risks and requires explicit user consent before auto-install, recommending or performing a remote script execution is high-risk behavior and should be handled only with explicit user approval.
Install Mechanism
There is no packaged install spec (instruction-only), but the bundled install.md lists three methods: Homebrew (low risk), manual download-and-review (medium risk), and a direct curl|sh installer from get.x-cmd.com (high risk). get.x-cmd.com is an external domain used for piping remote code to sh; this pattern is a known supply-chain/shell-execution risk. GitHub releases and Homebrew references are reasonable, but the auto-install endpoint and post-execution checksum verification are risky.
Credentials
The skill requests no credentials or environment variables and limits changes to a user-local directory (~/.x-cmd.root/). It does require reading/sourcing a file in the user's home directory, which is necessary for using x-cmd but does mean arbitrary code in that file would run when sourced.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no system-wide privileges are requested. The documented installation scope is user-local (~/.x-cmd.root/) and removal instructions remove only that directory and shell config lines; the skill does not request permanent elevated privileges or modification of other skills' config.
